Use the New-ManagementRole cmdlet to create a management role based on an existing role or create an unscoped management role.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Syntax.

Syntax


`New-ManagementRole -Parent <RoleIdParameter> <COMMON PARAMETERS>`


`New-ManagementRole -UnScopedTopLevel <SwitchParameter> <COMMON PARAMETERS>`


`COMMON PARAMETERS: -Name <String> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Description <String>] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-Force <SwitchParameter>] [-Organization <OrganizationIdParameter>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]`

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example creates the management role Redmond Journaling View-Only based on the Journaling parent role.

	Copy Code
New-ManagementRole -Name "Redmond Journaling View-Only" -Parent Journaling

After the role is created, the Remove-ManagementRoleEntry cmdlet is used along with the Where cmdlet to remove all the management role entries that aren't needed on the role. You can't add role entries to the newly created role because it already has all the role entries that exist on its parent role, Journaling. The WhatIf switch is used to verify that the correct role entries are removed.

	Copy Code
Get-ManagementRoleEntry "Redmond Journaling View-Only\" \| Where { $_.Name -NotLike "Get" } \| Remove-ManagementRoleEntry -WhatIf

After confirmation that the command removes the correct role entries, the same command is run again without the WhatIf switch.

	Copy Code
Get-ManagementRoleEntry "Redmond Journaling View-Only\" \| Where { $_.Name -NotLike "Get" } \| Remove-ManagementRoleEntry

EXAMPLE 2

This example creates the unscoped management role In-house scripts. The user running the command, or the role group the user is a member of, is assigned the Unscoped Role Management management role. This assignment is required to use the UnScopedTopLevel switch.

	Copy Code
New-ManagementRole -Name "In-house scripts" -UnScopedTopLevel

Detailed Description

You can either create a management role based on an existing role, or you can create an unscoped role that's empty. If you create a role based on an existing role, you start with the management role entries that exist on the existing role. You can then remove entries to customize the role. If you create an unscoped role, the role can contain custom scripts or cmdlets that aren't part of Exchange.

Caution:
An unscoped role doesn't have any scope restrictions applied. Scripts or third-party cmdlets included in an unscoped role can view or modify any object in the Exchange organization. The ability to create an unscoped management role isn't granted by default. To create an unscoped management role, you must assign the Unscoped Role Management management role to a role group you're a member of. For more information about how to create an unscoped management role, see Create an Unscoped Role.

Caution:

An unscoped role doesn't have any scope restrictions applied. Scripts or third-party cmdlets included in an unscoped role can view or modify any object in the Exchange organization.

The ability to create an unscoped management role isn't granted by default. To create an unscoped management role, you must assign the Unscoped Role Management management role to a role group you're a member of. For more information about how to create an unscoped management role, see Create an Unscoped Role.

After you create a role, you can change the management role entries on the role and assign the role with a management scope to a user or universal security group (USG).

For more information about management roles, see Understanding Management Roles.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Management roles" entry in the Role Management Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Name	Required	System.String	The Name parameter specifies the name of the role. The maximum length of the name is 64 characters. If the name contains spaces, enclose the name in quotation marks (").
Parent	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.RoleIdParameter	The Parent parameter specifies the identity of the role to copy. If the name of the role contains spaces, enclose the name in quotation marks ("). If you specify the Parent parameter, you can't use the UnScopedTopLevel switch.
UnScopedTopLevel	Required	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The UnScopedTopLevel switch specifies that the role should be a custom, empty role. If you specify the UnScopedTopLevel switch, you can't use the Parent parameter.
Confirm	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch.
Description	Optional	System.String	The Description parameter specifies the description that's displayed when the management role is viewed using the Get-ManagementRole cmdlet. Enclose the description in quotation marks (").
DomainController	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn	The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory.
Force	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Force switch specifies whether to suppress warning or confirmation messages. This switch can be used when the task is run programmatically and prompting for administrative input is inappropriate. If the Force switch isn't provided in the command, you're prompted for administrative input. You don't have to specify a value with this parameter.
Organization	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.OrganizationIdParameter	The Organization parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.
WhatIf	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch.
